Invista expands Xpure polyester product range

Invista has expanded its Xpure portfolio of polyester products made with a next generation catalyst system. Recent additions to this portfolio include the Xpure 7001 and 701K polyester copolymers.

Xpure 7001 polyester is an amorphous resin while Xpure 701K polyester is a pre-crystallized resin. Both products offer a melting point of about 224°C which is about 30°C lower than a standard polyethyleneterephthalate. Application examples include packaging films and bicomponent fibers.

Invista’s Xpure polyester polymers are manufactured with a new generation catalyst system and offer easy flowing properties for better processability, as well as the possibility to use nonreactive thermal bonding methods.
